2012-10-15 workout – Wender 5/3/1 program, cycle 14, squat 2

My ankles suck, but it led to better things.

    • 2x5x45 (warmup)

    • 1x5x140

  • Foam Rolling

Over the weekend I (re)aggravated my left ankle. It hurts…. bad.

Still, I wanted to squat. I drove to the gym to avoid the extra pounding on the ankle. I did my work set, but it was evident that was all I was going to get, so I skipped the 5×10 squats and just went to the ab work and moved along. Oh well.

One cool thing tho is I really set up for each lift. I wanted to be mindful of the ankle so I was really on with technique and making each rep solid. I was VERY happy with my performance. I will chalk up today to being one full of quality, not quantity. I can live with that.
